Can you explain what you saw that made Uhura a badass?

And while I applaud Cumberbatch's acting, that was *not* Khan. And it discomforts me to know that they made the character out to be a terrorist when that's not what the original Khan was and then hid behind the whole, "Oh, we didn't want to cast anyone of color for the role to avoid stereotyping" when the easiest thing to do would have him be some random new guy who was what they said he was in the beginning. The whole "he's Khan" thing was just useless. How is some guy from the 1990s going to be able to outdo their geniuses contemporary scientists on space travel and weaponry? The original Khan didn't understand that space ships are more like submarines than land armies and that's pretty much why he lost in WOK. None of this was Khan's personality nor history nor reason for having been written into Trek - so why did they make him Khan? I guess that's the main thing that gets me with this movie, they didn't need to do this, so why did they?

I don't mean to sound like I'm attacking you, I'm really more crying into my hands, "please, someone make this movie better for me by explaining some of this stuff in a way I can stomach."

I agree with you - I liked the film, but why he had to be Khan was beyond me. I know, it was just a publicity thing, but he could have been any other character and it would have a) made more sense and b) been more interesting.

I'm still just sad that Karl Urban was bullshitting about Cumberbatch playing Gary Mitchell. Now, that would have been a great film (in my mind, anyway)

NAYRT but lol dude that's the girl that faced a group of klingons alone and she like risked her life to save Kirk, Spock and those other guys ass. If it were for Kirk alone they become sausage made by the klingons.
She also saved Spock's ass in the end (and technically Kirk's as well)
